Patent EP-0765644-A3 (EP)
Inventor: SOMMERICH ROBERT E
IPC: A61F2/30
Filed: 1996-09-27
Abstract: A bone prosthesis has a stem with a hollow interior and an external surface that
allows wedging contact with surrounding bone while transferring strain at a level
comparable to that of natural bone. The stem is cast about an irregular plug body,
which is then removed, leaving a wall thickness that satisfies the opposing constraints
of high strength and relatively low stiffness. The plug narrows the prosthesis wall
thickness in upper regions thereof and strengthens the wall about regions of recessed or
discontinuous features, or high load coupling, to assure that the stem has adequate
strength in regions of high strain. while effectively coupling strain to surrounding bone.
The prosthesis is produced in a range of sizes, and plugs or entire molds for casting the
hollow body are readily made and modified by a three-dimensional printing mold
fabrication technique.

Abstract: A system and method which delivers data at very high data transmission
speeds to many locations simultaneously. A SCANS system is supplied with a
satellite uplink communication module which transmits data to an earth orbiting
satellite. The satellite then retransmits the data over a wide geographical area. Each
receiving location is equipped with a small satellite dish to receive data from the
satellite. Advantageously, the satellite dish is connected to a work station in the
switching office which then processes the received data and delivers all information
in a form that is ready for use by the modules' switching office. Errors during data
transmission are noted for further processing. After the data is broadcast from the
beginning to the end, the SCANS system pauses for a brief interval during which
time each receiving station performs error detection, error correction, and other
recovery procedures on the data it just received. The SCANS system, using satellite
transmission, then broadcasts data once again from the beginning to the end.
Receiving stations then selectively acquire data that was missing or in error after the
first transmission.

Abstract: A device for automatically locking wheels on a
balancing machine which comprises: a rotating hollow shaft
(17) which supports, at one end, a flange (2) for clamping a
wheel (1) in a cantilevered fashion; a secondary shaft (4)
which can perform a translatory motion within said hollow
shaft (17) by means of preloaded springs, so as to keep the
secondary shaft (4) shifted away from the clamping flange
(2), thus locking the wheel (1); a pneumatic cylinder (11)
for the translatory motion of the secondary shaft (4)
towards the clamping flange (2), in order to allow the
release of the wheel (1) and, simultaneously, a further
loading of the springs. For machines of this kind, the
locking device according to the present invention has at
least two gas springs (8) which are parallel to the
secondary shaft (4) and are interposed between a pulley (9)
rigidly coupled to the hollow shaft (17) and the free end
(4a) of the secondary shaft (4), and a pneumatic cylinder

Abstract: The improvement to the gas meter comprises a mechanism for controlling when the gas control valve should be shut-off and thereby alleviate the drain upon the battery which is used to drive the electronic circuitry within the gas meter. The gas meter comprises a base meter module 1 which has associated therewith a add-on module 2 which when connected to the base meter module 1 communicates to the base meter module via an optical interface 7, 8. The add-on module 2 includes a central processing unit 9 which is arranged to calculate a volume index threshold shut-off value which is transmitted to the base meter module 1 and is stored within the control system 5. During meter operation, the base meter module 1 monitors the volume index value and when that value is equal to or greater than the value stored in the control system, the base meter module 1 causes the gas valve 6 to operate and thereby close the valve and shut-off the gas supply to the meter. This method of monitoring volume index in the base meter module uses less power than continually transferring information across greater periodicity and therefore the battery life is extended. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A bipolar rechargeable battery (20) comprises a vessel (22, 28, 30) with an
insulated liner (24) and an interior region (34) for bulk storage of a gas which serves
as an electrode active material. A plurality of cells (36) are nested within the vessel,
each including a metallic bipolar cup (38) having a circular base (40) and an integral
insulated hydrophobic upstanding side wall (42) of truncated conical shape diverging
with increased distance from the base. A positive electrode (46) overlies the base.
A dielectric separator (50) separates the positive electrode and a negative electrode
(48) sized to fittingly engage the side wall such that any gas generated at the positive
electrode must pass through the negative electrode to escape the cell to thereby
recombine the generated gas with the active material gas within the cell. The
upstanding side wall of each cell is oriented to enable gas passage from each of the
cells to the bulk gas storage region. The upstanding side walls of the adjacent cells
mutually define a gap (54) enabling gas communication between the adjacent cells
and between each of the cells and the bulk gas storage region. A gas screen (54) of
porous conductive inert material may overlie the gas electrode, providing an interface
between the cell and an adjoining cell in the battery and passage of gas between
the bulk gas storage and the gas electrode current collector.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to an insulated wafer
spacing mask (100) for supporting a workpiece (116) in
a spaced apart relation to a workpiece support chuck
(104). More specifically, the wafer spacing mask
contains a plurality of support members (112)
deposited upon an insulating material (113) located
between the wafer spacing mask and the support surface
of the chuck. The support members maintain a wafer,
or other workpiece, in a spaced apart relation to the
support surface of the chuck. The distance between
the underside surface of the wafer and the chuck is
defined by the thickness of the support members. This
distance should be larger than the expected diameter
of contaminant particles that may lie on the surface
of the chuck. In this manner, the contaminant
particles do not adhere to the underside of the wafer
and current leakage through the wafer is minimized.

Abstract: A novel split threaded ring bearing member (42) for rolling cutter drill bits with
at least a portion of its threads (48) having a different pitch than its mating threads (40)
is disclosed. The pitch difference is designed so that the threaded ring can be seated or
otherwise located precisely with respect to the other bearing elements within the drill bit
to effectively control the axial displacement of the rolling cutter (18) on the bearing
spindle (16) within a given tolerance range. Upon assembly, the difference in thread
pitch causes the opposite, opposing mating thread flanks to engage, effectively applying
a tensile or compressive force to a portion of the threaded ring bearing member (42),
which gradually increases as the assembly is tightened. The result is an improved rolling
cutter drill bit with a threaded ring cutter bearing system with excellent resistance to
back-off which will not allow significant radial movement between the engaged threads,
even if some back-off of the threads occurs.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for producing a single face
corrugated web (14) from an adhesively bonded liner (13) and medium web (12)
without the use of a pressure roll nip where the liner web is
joined to the medium web. A heated bonding roll (17) with a fluted
outer surface carries the single face web around a
circumferential portion sufficient to create a green bond in the
glue lines before the web is removed from the roll. The bonding
roll may be internally heated or a steam chamber may be
positioned around a portion of a lower bonding roll, such that
the steam chamber introduces a supply of steam into contact with
the single face web while the single face web is in contact with
the outer circumference of the bonding roll. An adjustable wrap
arm places the freshly glued single face web in contact with the
bonding roll and tension in the liner web is controlled to
adjust the radial force applied to the glue lines.

Abstract: In transmission and reception of signals in which audio
data and management information used in playback are mingled,
such as the data recorded in DVD or other recording media, this is
to present means for separating the information into video and
audio data and management information used in playback, so that
the reception side can make use of various playback functions, such
as a playback of original picture and sound information, a change of
playback procedure, and a selection of playback information. At
the transmission side, the data packet transforming means
generates a first packet stream from transmission data.
Consequently, the transmission packet generating means inserts
packets generated from the playback management information by
playback management information packet transforming means into
the first packet stream at a specified rate, and generates a second
packet stream. This is transmitted by using communication media
as designated in IEEE1394 or the like. At the reception side, the
signal acquired in the receiving means is separated into a packet
stream of data and packets of playback management information in
the packet identification means, so that the playback data is
restored from the packet stream of data on the basis of the
management information.
